Rehab chief is entitled to 35% salary bonus

Disability charity boss Angela Kerins is entitled to a 35% salary bonus every year worth over €84,000 — and has claimed her pay packet should be 20% higher than its current €240,000 rate.

The shock figures were revealed during a mammoth seven-hour Dáil Public Accounts Committee meeting with the Rehab chief executive yesterday.

Speaking to the cross-party watchdog, the controversial official said the disability charity — which receives €83m in State funds every year — is a private entity and as such the payments are not of public concern.
